Mr. Dampha/Brother Hamjatta:

I appreciate your calls for a continuation on the road to democracy.  We
should not be deterred by the dictator's tactics in trying to confuse us.  I
have some questions to ask the list managers.

When you summon elders and call them all kinds of names, should any Gambian
show you respect?  When you buy a plane and loot the country's treasury, are
you not a thief?  When you promised Gambians that you would electrify the
entire country by the end of April 2001, are you not stupid or a blatant
liar?  When you kill innocent school kids, are you not a killer and a
butcher?  When you go around the Middle East and Far East Asia and beg for
money, are you not a parasite?  When you use religion to further your
political ambition, are you not a moron?  When you deny Gambians the right
to political democracy, are you not a dictator?  When you fire Gambians
without any justification, don't you lack managerial skills and opt some
people to think that you are mentally deranged?  When you ruin the economy
of The Gambia, and try to blame Sir Dawda for your own faults, do you want
us to sit and don't say a damn thing?  When you have names of your enemies
at the airport to have them arrested when they come to visit their
relatives, are you not exhibiting fear and intimidation?

Mr. Dampha and Brother H. Kanteh, I received a confidential mail stating
that the dictator has bought a list manager to have us de list from the L.
We must continue this struggle until the last solider is driven out of our
State House.  Their intended purpose is to initiate disarray within our
organization.  We must continue the struggle and properly use the L to
reveal the sins of this dictatorship.

I would like the L managers to itemize words that they consider insults.  I
do not think words like stupid, liar, moron, thief, butcher, etc are
insulting.  The truth of the matter is, the agents of political instability
fit this mold.  We must be vigilant in our fight for decency.

I have neither benefited, nor asked to be helped under the legal government
of Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara.  Gambians were accorded the opportunity to
prevail under Sir Dawda.  Unfortunately, the dictator of kaninlai has
completely destroyed the very infrastructure that Sir Dawda left intact.  It
is comic when the thugs call us "asylum seekers."  I have been in the US for
over 20 years, and will continue to fight for The Gambian people.  I have
retained my residency even before the dictator  enlisted in The Gambian
National Army.  I do not have to get asylum in the US to fight for what is
right.  I cannot be a fool and sell my soul to an illegal government that
killed innocent Gambian school kids.  I will not subscribe to a theory of
tolerance to an illegal government that does not care about the average
Gambian.  The Gambia deserves better.

Our only sin is our call for justice.  Our only hope is a desire for all
Gambians to decide their own faith.  Our only wisdom is that The Gambian
civil service is respected.  Our only initiative is a vibrant economy and a
return to civility and understanding.  The Gambia, a country we love cannot
continue to go into a tragic threshold.

We cry for our country because we love The Gambian people.  We cry for the
silent majority who are constantly  denied the basic necessity of life's
substance.  We cry for a secular society where Christians are accorded the
same rights.  We cry, because we know where our country is heading.  We
cannot be hypocrites in trying to speak with our mouths full.  We know no
boundries and will refuse to be sold for the main purpose of letting a
tyrant destroy our country.  We are prepared to wait until eternity for a
yahyaless Gambia.

Our swords are drawn.  We refuse to surrender.  We refuse to be played by
the agents of the dictator.  We obey Gambians who want our country to be an
ideal situation for a better quality of life.  The Gambia must not go in
ruins.  These soldiers cannot freely run like sheep in the deserts of
sahara.  We must be willing to understand that our journey will be
difficult.  We will not let the tyrant determine or predict us.  We must
forever remain strong.  The Gambia we cry.  The Gambia we love.  The Gambia
we are concerned.  The Gambia we cannot let go.  Mr. Dampha and Brother H.
Kanteh, you can count on me.  I will never sell my soul.  I will never
accept blood money.  I will rather eat nyakata than eat benachin or domoda
at the State House.  I will rather die poor than steal the Gambian people's
money.  This blood money must not be accepted by any Gambian.

Our looted money will be recovered.  The dictator can run, but he cannot
hide.  We will find every butut that he has taken away.  We are in control.
Our strategy must be initiated to meet our goals and objectives.  The hope
is for a viable and democratic Gambia.

May we pray for a better Gambia.  May the prayers of our elders germinate.
May we witness a democratic Gambia.  May the UDP prevail in the
by-elections.  May the opposition unite for the next presidential elections.
May our efforts for a yahyaless Gambia materialize.  The Gambia we call
home.  The Gambia our hope.  The fight we must win.  Let's go. Let's get
set.  I say comrades, whazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz upppppppppp.

Long live democracy and down with dictator yahya jemus.  The Gambia will be
free one day.  The silent majority, we hear your call for help.  We will
never let you down.

Naphiyo,

Comrade Muhammad Lamine Jassey-Conteh
